I used to believe this, but I think that in practice it unfortunately
doesn't work. Reason is that content-negotiation dispatches on
media type, and I can easily imagine a case where I have several
different resources of the same media type that might apply. E.g.
I might have an authoring-time, an auditing-time, and an execution-time
XSD. XHTML has at least 3 DTDs. Sigh. -Tim
